Swimming is fun, it’s relaxing, it is great exercise and of course, it is a chance to see the world. That is if you’re Jennifer Figge, a 56 year old woman from Aspen, Colorado, who just finished swimming from Cape Verde, Africa to Trinidad in the Caribbean.
Leaving on January 12, Figge braved 30 foot waves, high winds and of course, that simple 2100 mile swim. Originally she had intended to swim to the Bahamas but bad weather forced her to change her course, adding 1000 miles to her trip. You know, no big deal, what’s another 1000 MILES!!!!
Figge is the first woman to complete a solo swim trip across the Atlantic, alongside her was a sailboat that kept pace throughout the journey. Spending at most 8 hours in the water after waking at 7 AM and starting then, she’d have crew members toss her energy drinks as she went along. At night she would eat meat, fish and peanut butter, in an effort to replenish the estimated 8,000 calories she burned a day.
Don’t worry, she’s not done yet, Figge intends to continue on to the British Virgin Islands, where she expects to make land sometime later this month.
“I was never scared,” Figge said. “Looking back, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I can always swim in a pool.”

In addition, Anderson had a joint in his pocket to go along with his little baggie of coke. Here’s my issue, I’ve been to plenty of bars, classy ones and dives, and no matter what, in NONE of those bars would I EVER EVER EVER want to put my face anywhere close to the toilets. In any manner. Snorting cocaine is gross already, but to add doing it off a bar toilet is just hating yourself. That’s gotta be a surefire recipe for getting hepatitis right?
